“perfect location, great price, simple room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

Hotel Nefeli is pretty much just below the Acropolis. It is in the Plaka area, which is the best area of Athens according to everyone we spoke with and it did seem that way. The room was simple, bed, small bathroom, tv & heat/air. The staff was friendly enough and the room was cleaned daily. We paid 50 euros and was very pleased with our stay. We would recommend the hotel. They do have an elevator lift, which is very nice when you have luggage. Athens was awesome... enjoy!

“Great Location, simple and clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

We stayed here for the location and price and were very happy with both. The rooms and breakfast are nothing to write home about, but the hotel is close to the metro, the pedestrian mall and the Acropolis. For a short stay I doubt you could do much better.

“Just the basics; clean; low cost; bring ear plugs and a pillow!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

The location is excellent, but be advised - this is a very basic accommodation. If you don't mind hostels, this will be great. If you are accustomed to luxury accommodation, you won't be happy here.

After spending the beginning of our Greece trip at the Plaka Hotel a few blocks away, my daughter and I spent a few weeks visiting various islands and then returned to Athens. Since we were playing it by ear at this point, and hadn't decided where we were going to be on this particular day, we didn't book very far in advance. We were fortunate to find the Nefeli for the one night before we had to catch our flight home. The location and low price certainly attracted us - we felt very much at home in this neighbor hood and were very happy to find this place. It is a step above a hostel; very "dorm-like". The furnishings are spartan, with only one flat pillow one the bed. When the room doors are closed, no matter how quietly you try, it makes a loud slamming noise --makes it difficult to sleep when people come in at all hours slamming the doors.

The place is neat and clean, which goes a long way in my book! I don't remember if there was free internet...our laptop went kaput on the beginning of our trip so we used internet cafes everywhere. There is an internet cafe a few blocks away, near Hadrian's Library.

There is a basic breakfast that is free, and was much appreciated at the end of our trip when funds were low!. The staff is very nice and helpful. It is a VERY short walk to Adrianou street and all of the shops, tavernas, and then of course, the Acropolis. If you are the young, or not-so-young (like me) backpacker type, this will suit you fine. You won't be spending much time there anyway because you'll be out having drinks, dinner, gelato and enjoying the Plaka.

Room Tip: Not sure if there are any

“A safe haven on the edge of the Plaka”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

My husband and I have stayed repeatedly in this small, simple and pleasant hotel.The management is very accomodating and helpful. There is easy access to Syntagma for early am departures to the airport. Breakfast is included in the very reasonable room rate. This is a solid choice for someone needing a central base to explore Athens from or merely a stopover between flights and ferries. Anyone who is behind the desk is always eager to help a needy tourist find their way. We look forward to our next stay on our way to Lesvos in the fall.

“Good Location and Cost”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed in Hotel Nefeli for 2 nights with husband and kid. It is located about 10 mins walking distance from Syntagma Square(which is the main area connecting all the sites). People at the reception were kind and helpful. The rooms were clean and air conditioned. Its a value for money budget hotel , not the posh kind. The locality is safe in the nights and there are many restaurants and super markets nearby. The breakfast is something they need to improve.
